Found a possible fix for this, just joined #SDL on freenode. The answer follows:
[23/11/2009 19:08] <fede_> hi [23/11/2009 19:09] <fede_> there is a way to have a server program using SDL_net without having GUI dependencies ? [23/11/2009 19:10] <bobbens> you can compile SDL without video support [23/11/2009 19:10] <bobbens> with dummy video driver only [23/11/2009 19:12] <fede_> oh, what is the value for SDL_VIDEODRIVER ? [23/11/2009 19:12] <fede_> in the FAQ it isn't listed [23/11/2009 19:12] <bobbens> you don't have to initialize the video subsystem [23/11/2009 19:13] <fede_> just this? [23/11/2009 19:13] <bobbens> well from the POV of an application using SDL you don't need any "GUI dependencies" [23/11/2009 19:13] <bobbens> it's just that the guy using your app will need a version of SDL without "GUI dependencies" either [23/11/2009 19:13] <fede_> sorry, i don't understand what means POV [23/11/2009 19:13] <bobbens> point of view [23/11/2009 19:14] <fede_> ^^ [23/11/2009 19:14] <bobbens> if you don't initialize the video subsystem, it's like video doesn't exist in your app [23/11/2009 19:14] <bobbens> and you can still use timers, SDL_net and other stuff you initialized [23/11/2009 19:14] <fede_> oh thank you very much! :) In data lunedì 23 novembre 2009 00:42:12, Brian Cloutier ha scritto: : > Glob2, > > As I was looking through the YOG code, I found a small problem.
